King Floyd's Old Fashioned Bitters Travel Set, California

Bright orange, dark cherry, cocoa, warm spice, and aromatic bitterness give this compact collection a broad range of Old Fashioned-ready profiles. King Floyd's Old Fashioned Bitters Travel Set brings together five of the producer’s craft bitters, Orange, Cherry Cacao, Chocolate, Old Fashioned, and Aromatic, allowing each to stand alone or be combined to adjust the depth, citrus character, spice, and richness of a cocktail. The set reflects King Floyd’s hands-on approach to botanical extraction and its focus on bitters built specifically for thoughtful cocktail making.

Sensory Description:

The collection moves from the citrus-driven bitterness of Orange through the darker fruit and cocoa character of Cherry Cacao and the deeper roasted richness of Chocolate. Old Fashioned bitters bring orange and cherry into a rounded, spice-led profile, while Aromatic provides a classic herbal and spice-driven foundation. Used individually, the five expressions offer distinct directions for whiskey cocktails; layered together, they allow citrus, fruit, cocoa, spice, and herbal bitterness to be adjusted with precision.

Distiller's Background:

Lawrence Floyd Batterton began developing cocktail bitters in 2013, drawing on a professional background in herbal extracts and refining his early formulas with feedback from bartenders and mixologists. King Floyd’s formally launched in 2017 and developed a range centered on small-batch botanical extraction. The production process combines maceration and percolation, with botanicals extracted separately and monitored before blending, an approach designed to maintain potency and consistency across the finished bitters. Luke O’Neal serves as Master Mixer alongside Batterton’s leadership as founder, CEO, and owner.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at room temperature and add a few dashes directly to a mixing glass or cocktail glass. Use Aromatic or Orange for a classic-leaning Old Fashioned, Cherry Cacao or Chocolate for deeper fruit and cocoa tones, or Old Fashioned bitters as an all-in-one starting point. Experiment with combining two expressions to tailor an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or other whiskey-forward cocktail. Pair the finished drinks with roasted nuts, dark chocolate, charcuterie, or aged cheese.
